I think it says 'relicta' which literally means 'abandoned', but can also mean 'surviving a dead person'... so given that the phrase is 'relicta filia legitima' I think it might mean 'orphaned legitimate daughter'. However, I'm coming at this with a knowledge of Latin rather than of document conventions, so I may be missing something. Hope that helps.

Sounds right Sally. Relic used to refer to widow.
agree with Sally. i think relicta means "the left behind legitimate daughter of Petrus Feyen"

Thanks for the star, Kris! smiley
